SUMMARY:Opening Night Film: A Line in the Sandstone - NELSON
DESCRIPTION:This year’s opening film takes us deep into the Denniston Plateau\, one of Aotearoa’s extraordinary and fragile landscapes. Home to dwarf native forests\, rare lizards and snails found nowhere else on Earth\, Denniston is a refuge for species and ecosystems unique to the South Island. \nThis is a cinematically stunning film that showcases the raw beauty of Denniston Plateau. The film follows a colourful group of climbers\, highliners and activists on a bold mission to promote and protect this remote\, harsh West Coast landscape. Australian coalmining company Bathurst Resources has applied to extract millions of tonnes of coal on Denniston Plateau\, mostly for export. Against this backdrop\, the film asks a powerful question: what are we willing to do to defend places that cannot be replaced? \nFrom 6.15pm\, come and mingle before a screening of A Line In The Sandstone at 7pm. \nThe film will be followed by a Q&A and discussion with those involved in the campaign to prevent coal mining in Denniston Plateau. Hear about ongoing actions led by Climate Liberation Aotearoa and explore what more can be done to safeguard this remarkable landscape. \nCome along and discover the beauty of our wild places and meet the people standing up for this national taonga. \nRegister HERE \n\nThis event is part of Climate Action Festival 2026.

SUMMARY:Festival Finale: How to Live on Earth - NELSON
DESCRIPTION:This year’s closing film is a visually stunning and hopeful film that shows us glimpses of a future in which nature thrives\, and so do we. \nNarrated by Benedict Cumberbatch\, How to Live on Earth takes us around the world to meet remarkable people exploring how we can live differently by treating nature as an ally\, instead of something to be exploited. From forest rangers and former office workers to Indigenous rights activists\, their stories invite us to consider our own power to make a difference. How can we feed ourselves sustainably? How can a community persuade political leaders to clean up local rivers? What happens when ordinary people decide to take action? \nTo round out the evening\, there will be a raffle packed with locally sourced and sustainable prizes\, generously donated by community-minded businesses and organisations. \nWhether you’re already part of the climate action community or simply curious about what’s possible\, come along to connect\, be inspired and discover how our own local actions can help shape a flourishing future for Nelson Tasman. \nRegister HERE \n\nThis event is part of Climate Action Festival 2026.
